You need to change the mac address of your lan card on your pc ! See wats the mac addr of lan card on your laptop and use the same in your pc! It will work without any issues then :) Currently doing the same on my PPPoE connection!

^^Yea..its surely the Mac address which is locked up at server..Heres how to do it:

On your laptop:
run "cmd"
and
execute "ipconfig /all"
see the physical address of your ethernet adapter (on which pppoe conection works)

It should be something like XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
Keep this in mind (or write it down somewhere :p )

On your pc:
Goto Network Connections -> Right Click on your LAN Connection (on which pppoe works) -> Properties -> Configure -> Advanced -> Network Address

It is by default "Not Present"..Click on Value and put the value you got from your laptop without the hyphens (i.e XXXXXXXXXXXX)


Prolly you should restart your comp and now when you connect, it works like a charm :)

Use "ipconfig /all" to get physical address

yup dat right d /all part is missing in your command

add dat 2 d original command and u will get the Physical Address category ,ie, you MAC address

You will have to ask the cable operator or ISP to release the MAC binding so that your LAN IP and username can be coupled with another MAC.

MAC is like fingerprint of hardware. It will help unauthorized access of your internet connection.
